Ever animal is different, some are real load haulers, while others are not. Just have use them and you find out over time what they can and can't handle in a pinch

But like already mentioned tack fit also plays a major role as far as comfort & # of miles they can do when loaded to max...... as does hoof trim & shoes.

We routinely put whole bull elk on a couple of our mules.
About all I can do to lift a pannier w/ half an elk in it..... Bone in.
